    I lived with Ethiopians in NYC throughout the 1980s and this was the soundtrack of our apartments. It brings back warm memories, of tea and cigarettes and shiro with wonder bread.

    As a East African, I am glad many people are experiencing African tunes and sounds. Africa has many generes of music and some sounds you may recognize as there are western artists who added western components and harmonics to the original roots. I urge everyone to go on a music tour of all 54 African countires and to start all the way back and work your way down to todays date. You will hear sounds from various regions from instruments you never knew existed. Welcome to the beautiful world of music & Enjoy my friends!
    P.S. Do this to every single country on this planet, your soul will thank you.

    Oh my goodness, I thought I knew music but you have schooled me. I had no clue that during that time when Miles Davis, Wes Montegomery, John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock and many more was bringing the vibe here in the states, I did not know that Ethiopia was sending that sultry jazz vibe as well. I am so grateful for this knowledge and have now began delving into this era in the one and only Ethiopia. Much appreciated!!

      @carrington2949 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +20

      @Maymaymaok No it did not. It came from American blacks. Jazz is considered the only true American art form. The jazz you hear in Africa is also due to travel and influence of African American pre and post World War. We also invented rock n roll. Country music is a descendent of blues music also started by American blacks. Jazz does have other influences with bass from our African ancestors and even classical music from Europe. However it is a unique American art form created by African Americans, We are descended from Africa but we have formed our own culture and arts. It does not take away from African’s contributions to music and the arts. However you only get various art forms when one group invents it from their own particular experiences and exposure to the world. That is very different for an African American vs an African.

      It's not a middle eastern vibe. It is an east African, specifically Ethiopian vibe. Ethiopian jazz utilizes four traditional pentatonic scales unique to Ethiopia. This is not middle eastern music.

    Music is a universal language we all can feel the beats. The modern jazz among the stars stands out tall the giant Ethiopan outstanding Mulatu Astatke gave birth to new sound effects connecting individuals souls on the dance floor access to travel back to old memories. We do have many of musicians to give credit who played huge roles and limitless contributions to jazz music definitely history will remember them throughout generations.
